Do you pass down swimsuits- or is that as gross as underwear?

My dsis and I swap swimwear on holiday when we fancy a change or if someone has a nice bikini!
We rinse them out with a bit of travel wash, nowt gross in that is there (doubting myself now)😂

I adored wearing anything my six years older DSis was prepared to hand down, I don't see anything 'gross' about any kind of clothing.

Not shoes, though as shoes adapt to the shape of the foot.

@FinallyHere same!😀

My DSis had bigger feet unfortunately and still does which is a shame before she has expensive taste in shoes.

I wouldn't give it a second thought not to . They go in a washing machine and come out clean 🤷‍♀️

Bathing suits yes, but not underwear

I have a daughter then a son but any plain stuff like basic t-shirts I pass down and if I have 2 girls or 2 boys everything would get passed down.

I give my daughters things to my friends daughter I've given her swimming costumes but not pants but I've given vests.

I think if stuff still has wear in it environmentally it's good to pass things down there's a lot of waste in the world.

No. They get worn out.

KangarooKenny · 18/02/2023 09:48

Yes

my dd now 23 bought her swimsuit from a charity shop
cant see why not

Definitely! Everything is passed from DD1 to DD2. 3 year age gap. Saves such a lot of money. Most of it is hand-me-downs or second hand already, but you'd never know; I look after our clothes.

I figure there is no need for anyone to buy any new items of clothing in the UK for at least a couple of years, there is so much excellent second hand stuff for sale on eBay and in charity shops.

Of course. Things are washed and swimwear often has minimal wear

Unless you never wash either, I don't see a problem. The world is drowning in crap, reduce, reuse, recycle is the way forward.

This.

I do, though dd2 has different tastes to dd1 so it doesn't always work.
